  1. Cobb v. Shelby County Bd. of Com'rs

    771 S.W.2d 124 (Tenn. 1989)   Cited 13 times
    In Cobb v. Shelby County Board of Commissioners, 771 S.W.2d 124 (Tenn. 1989), the plaintiffs were taxpayers and citizens of Shelby County and brought suit against the county’s board of commissioners, mayor, and financial officers.

    The courts will not entertain a citizen action to recoup public funds from private individuals. See Metro v. Fulton, 701 S.W.2d at 600; Trigg v. Mansfield, 648 S.W.2d 946 (Tenn. App. 1982) (distinguishing State ex rel. Vaughn v. King, 653 S.W.2d 727 (Tenn. App. 1982)). The Badgett case has been given different interpretations by the parties here, as well as by the lower courts, but it is particularly apposite.
